Automated text messages inform shoppers of order status changes or when item are shipped. It keeps them in the loop and reduces the number of customer enquiries you'll have to deal with.

Clockwork SMS can also text you when someone purchases. Yep, no need to constantly check back at the store or emails. Great when you don't sit at a desk all day, or if you need to unshackle yourself from the dreaded computer.

This app works with the Clockwork SMS API which can send text messages worldwide for 5p each (British). That's around 8 cents in US money.

Great app, thoroughly recommend it. Cinch to install. As with all these apps they're only as good as their support which is really swift with Mediaburst. I called out of hours (as per last reviewer it seems) and still received a prompt email saying that my issue would be looked at first thing the following day...and it was! Really good.

After installing I received a message to see all was well, the product was set up for me (out of hours and at a critical moment!) Excellent service, product has been easy to use. Highly recommended. Well done Mediaburst, I look forward to future products.
